JetBlue applauds the new U.S. – Mexico aviation treaty

JetBlue Airways (New York) has applauded the United States Department of Transportation on its announcement of a liberalized aviation treaty with the government of Mexico.

The agreement, signed yesterday (December 18) in Washington, lifts longstanding restrictions on the number of carriers allowed to operate on any given route between the U.S. and Mexico, opening the door for carriers to add unlimited new transborder air service effective January 1, 2016.

JetBlue, which operates an extensive network across Latin America and the Caribbean, has served Mexico since 2006. Today the airline operates service to Cancún and Mexico City from several U.S. gateways including Boston; Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, Fla.; New York-JFK; and Orlando.
